Episode Fifty-Nine: In-Between Books
In This Episode:
The guys need a break from #ToB17 reading, so they took a break with some books that break all kinds of molds: Sarah Manguso's "Ongoingness" and Alejandro Zambra's "Multiple Choice". Because everybody needs a break sometimes, ya know?
Other Highlights:
* Arrested Development
* the Disney Vault
* surprisingly few references to The Cure
* not-quite-last-call for SMDB shirts!
